What does it take to walk on water, raise the dead, manipulate matter, and have command over nature? Searching for the enigmatic powers of the prophets, a group of neuroscientists believe themselves to have found the answer, coming up with a plan to induce enlightenment, in order to become something akin to a God. As the project progresses, the team begins to feel their senses heighten and they start to glimpse an incredible power; but they come to realize that this power comes with a price. Oceans away, a frozen, ancient man is found in the mountains, with an encrypted mathematical map, and a mysterious artifact that defies logic. An archaeologist and mathematician set out to follow the map (towards an object they believe could be out of this world), while hundreds of miles away, a renowned physicist comes up with a plan to trap elementary particles, particles, that he believes, will hold the key to maintaining stable tunnels in space-time. A weathered detective investigates the brutal murder of a prominent neurologist (involved with the enlightenment project), all the while, trying to determine the origin of deadly, unknown pathogen, that breaks out, and begins to spread. Will you be able to figure out how all the pieces fit together, before they fall into place? 'An Evolution of Minds' weaves true history, cutting edge science, and religious mystery into an edge-of-your-seat sci-fi thriller, in the tradition of Michael Crichton and Dan Brown.
